Has anyone tried to use a whistle, they aren't worth S%*T.
You must be using the wrong whistle. When I carry a whistle, it's a Fox 40. They have no moving parts and are used by referees and coaches around the world.
Classic | Fox 40 International
I also have a Dive Alert which I use when diving off of a boat. It is certainly louder than a Fox 40, but you obviously need air in your tank for it to work. A small classic Fox 40 is a great back up to have. As a whistle it works and works well.
Lights should be added to the list for us cave divers.
Do you regularly carry an emergency signaling device such as a safety sausage, mirror, strobe ?

Bulky? A backup light attached to the harness with inner tubing and a boltsnap to the chest D-ring?- Lights, strobes, epirb, life line. I put them all into the category of battery operated signal device. All bulky and require thought on how best to carry.

You and I apparently have quite different definitions of "bulky". I have my backup light attached to my harness all the time. Don't even notice it.
